This application claims priority to Indian Provisional Application Number 201611012426, filed on Apr. 8, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entireties.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel compounds that are useful in the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus (type I and type II), and related disorders and also includes methods for making, pharmaceutical compositions containing, and therapeutic uses for such compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Diabetes is a life-style related disease derived from multiple causative factors. It is characterized by elevated levels of plasma glucose (hyperglycemia) in the fasting state or after administration of glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test. There are two generally recognized forms of diabetes: type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), patients produce little or no insulin, the hormone which regulates glucose utilization. In type 2 diabetes, or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM), insulin is still produced in the body, and patients demonstrate resistance to the effects of insulin in stimulating glucose and lipid metabolism in the main insulin-sensitive tissues, namely, muscle, liver and adipose tissue. These patients often have normal levels of insulin, and may have hyperinsulinemia (elevated plasma insulin levels), as they compensate for the reduced effectiveness of insulin by secreting increased amounts of insulin.

The treatment of T2DM generally begins weight loss, healthy diet and exercise program. Although these factors are important especially to dissolve the increased risk of cardiovascular disorders related to diabetes mellitus, they are not effective generally for the control of diabetes mellitus itself. There are many drugs useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, acarbose, thiazolidinedione, GLP-1 analogue and DPP IV inhibitor. There are, however deficiencies associated with currently available treatment, including hypoglycemic episodes, weight gain, loss in responsiveness to therapy over time, gastrointestinal problems, and edema.

Although a number of receptor classes exist in humans, by far the most abundant and therapeutically relevant is represented by the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) class, it is estimated that approximately 4% of the protein-coding genome encodes GPCRs. GPCRs are also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors as they share a common structural motif, having seven sequences of between 22 to 24 hydrophobic amino acids that form seven alpha helices, each of which spans the membrane. Further, there has been renewed focus on pancreatic islet-based insulin secretion that is controlled by glucose-dependent insulin secretion (GDIS). In this regard, several orphan G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR's) have recently been identified that are preferentially expressed in the β-cell and are implicated in GDIS.

GPR119 is a cell-surface GPCR that is highly expressed in human (and rodent) islets as well as in insulin-secreting cell lines. Activation of GPR119 has been demonstrated to stimulate intracellular cAMP and lead to glucose dependent GLP-1 and insulin secretion (T. Soga et al Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2005, 326). Synthetic GPR119 agonists augment the release of insulin from isolated static mouse islets only under conditions of elevated glucose, and improve glucose tolerance in diabetic mice and diet-induced obese (DIO) C57/B6 mice without causing hypoglycemia.

There still remains a need for alternative novel synthetic compounds which acts as GPR119 agonists and are useful in the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus (type I and type II), and related disorders.

Particularly, the compounds of the present invention are effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The compounds of present invention activates the GPR119 which increases the intracellular accumulation of cAMP, leading to enhanced glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and increased release of the gut peptides GLP-1 (glucagon like peptide 1), GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide) and PYY (polypeptide YY) and thus acts as GPR119 agonists.

The compound for use as a pharmaceutical may be presented as a pharmaceutical composition. The invention therefore provides in a further aspect a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel compounds of the invention along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients/carriers thereof and optionally other therapeutic and/or prophylactic ingredients. The excipients/carriers must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. Suitably the pharmaceutical composition will be in an appropriate formulation.

The pharmaceutical formulations may be any formulation and include those suitable for oral, intranasal, or parenteral (including intramuscular and intravenous) administration. The formulations may, where appropriate, be conveniently presented in discrete dosage units and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing into association the active compound with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.

For these purposes the compounds of the present invention may be administered orally, topically, intranasally, parenterally, by inhalation spray or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasteral injection or infusion techniques. In addition to the treatment of warm-blooded animals such as mice, rats, horses, dogs, cats, etc. The compounds of the present invention are effective in the treatment of humans.

In an aspect, compound of the present invention may be administered in a dose ranging from 0.1 to 100 mg/kg body weight per day. The compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders, particularly for the treatment of type I and type II diabetes, obesity and related disorders.
